ENGLE, GEORGE W.
(2 Nov 1911, Thursday, Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
George W. Engle, father of G. K. and E. E. Engle, died at the home of his
son, G. K. Engle, in this city Tuesday, October 31st, age 70 years.
Mr. Engle was well known in Beckham and Roger Mills counties, having
located in the latter county thirteen years ago on a farm near Berlin. 
For several years he suffered from rheumatism, and it was with the hope
that his disease might be benefited that he made a trip to Michigan last
August.  It was soon after his arrival there that he was stricken with
paralysis, and in company with his son, he returned to Sayre about the
middle of last September.  Since coming home he has been absolutely
helpless and confined to his bed.
The funeral services were conducted Wednesday under the auspices of the
Odd Fellows, and the remains laid at rest in the Sayre cemetery.

time of his death.  He was formerly a resident of what is now Beckham Co.,
